Hey @MindaugasVaitkus2,

We did a quick check and this issue looks very darn similar to

• #94 - Mail about new session
• #93 - [F+] WEBP Image Format
• #92 - [BUG]

This could be a coincidence, but if any of these issues solves your problem then I did a good job :smile:

If not, the maintainers will get to this issue shortly.
